Hi,

I have built a JMeter test that uses JMS Publisher and JMS Subscriber, and they work fine when running locally from JMeter.

Now I try to run the same test with Taurus docker image but it fails with the error: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ConnectionFactory

More specifically:

In Taurus yml file I am pointing to the same JMeter instance as the one used locally since it sits in a share accessible from both places.

My Subscriber looks like in the attached picture and it is very similar with the Publisher, and both use qpid client.

Can anyone have a look, and hel me debug/fix this?

Thank you

In its current form your question cannot be comprehensively answered, most probably you're not using the JMeter instance containing necessary .jar files

JMeter documentation says:

JMeter includes the JMS API jar, but does not include a JMS client implementation. If you want to run JMS tests, you will need to download the appropriate jars from the JMS provider.

So make sure to:

Mount your JMeter installation containing JMS .jars to the container
Inform Taurus to use the mounted JMeter instead of downloading a brand new one

You can also mount Taurus artifacts dir and pass "-v" command line argument to the end of your docker run command, this way you will see what's going on in bzt.log file.

Example command:

docker run -it --rm -v /path/to/folder/with/your/scenarios:/bzt-configs -v /path/to/Taurus/logs:/tmp/artifacts blazemeter/taurus -v /path/to/your/jmeter:/tmp/jmeter your-scenario-name.yml -v

and make sure that your Taurus YAML contains the following stanza:

modules:
jmeter:
path: /tmp/jmeter

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply.

The docker command I am using is:

docker run --rm -v /path/to/folder/with/your/scenarios :/bzt-configs -v /path/to/Taurus/logs:/tmp/artifacts -v /path/to/share:/tmp blazemeter/taurus:1.16.30 /bzt-configs/jmeter_jms_test.yml

And in jmeter_jms_test.yml I have:

modules:
jmeter:
path: /tmp/tools/eup-apache-jmeter-5.6.2/bin/jmeter.sh

As I said, I am using the same jmeter to run tests both locally on my windows workstation and remote on a linux server.

Best Regards,

Ioan

Change path to /tmp/tools/eup-apache-jmeter-5.6.2
It's recommended to use the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to 5.6.3
If you would read my recommendation on enabling verbose output for Taurus you could detect this issue yourself

I did all that you suggested, but the error is still here.

Regarding the path, I don't think it matters, as, jmeter clearly indicates in logs (from my first post) the library qpid-jms-client-1.11.0.jar which is the one I am trying to use and is put in lib folder.

Other suggestions?

Thank you

Hi Ioan,

Were you able to solve this issue? I'm trying to locally install jmeter and associated plugins instead of relying on the 3rd party artifactory as they seems very unreliable.

I tried installing to the default path /root/.bzt/jmeter-taurus/ but there is no effect.

I also added ~/.bzt-rc file and mentioned

modules:
jmeter:
path: ~/.bzt/jmeter-taurus/bin/jmeter

but no effect.

This is what I'm doing while installing, am I making any mistake here?

# Copy the apache-jmeter-5.5.tgz file from the host into the image
COPY apache-jmeter-5.5.tgz /tmp/
# /root/.bzt/jmeter-taurus/5.5/bin/jmeter
# Extract the .tgz file, strip the top-level directory, and install to /root/.bzt/jmeter-taurus/$JMETER_VERSION
RUN mkdir -p /root/.bzt/jmeter-taurus/$JMETER_VERSION && \
tar -xzvf /tmp/apache-jmeter-5.5.tgz --strip-components=1 -C /root/.bzt/jmeter-taurus/$JMETER_VERSION && \
ln -s /root/.bzt/jmeter-taurus/$JMETER_VERSION /root/.bzt/jmeter-taurus/$JMETER_VERSION/apache-jmeter
